New York Leader labor Daily, Augusts.
We fear very much that those
of fellow-workers who are now
raising disgracefnl and suicidal
outcry (that of Socialism, against
some of their best and most hon
est brothers whose ideas they, the
clamorers, but imperfectly under
stand, have fallen into trap art
fully laid for them by some of our
most shrewd Doodle politicians.
1t was the Doodle papers of the
worst and most contemplate kind
that first raised the "mad-dog"
cry against Socialism in the Unit
ed Labor Party. The object of
these tools of political robbery is
obvious. First, every split in the
ranks of United Labor is for them
something to be rejoiced at. Sec
ondly, they know but too well
that if they succeed in driving out
of the ranks large portion of
organized workers, who belong to
the honest champions of a pure
labor movement, there will be
some hope for them, through
their skilled agents, who are al
ready now infesting the ranks of
the United Labor Party in many
places, to side-track the whole or
a portion of the movement in such
a way as to make combination"
with one of the old political organ

Between Two Policemen.

New YORK, August I9.-Police-
man James Grogan wantonly
clubbed and kicked Policeman
Hines on Tuesday night. Hines
is regularly detailed at the New
York and New Haven depot, and
is unknown to Grogan, who has
been on the force but few months.
He was in plain clothes, playing
cards in Baptist Hecht's saloon,
Issd street and Courtlandt avenue.
Four of the men who were present
assert that Grogan cursed them
all without provocation, and that
he had been drinking there earlier
in the evening. They say that
Hines demonstrated with Grogan
for making a disturbance, and they
say that Grogan pointed a revolver

Fashions for Men.

There seems to be no decided
change in fashions for gentlemen
this season.
1t is still the thing for those
gentlemen holding public posi-
tons to ornament the inside OF
their pockets with all the Doodle
there is in sight. 1t is thought
though that when the Labor Par
ty is in office this style will be
done away with.
Workingmen are still following
the time-worn fashion of working
long hours for little pay. The
greater portion of their earnings
is generally given to the employer
as heretofore. The same old
mode of living in small, rented
houses, wearing poor clothes, and
eating half rations still prevails.
Among the clerks it is cine to
wear short-tailcd coats and dude
hats; to lie, cheat, and swindle the
purchaser for the benefit of their
masters. All sensible subjects OF
conversation are tabooed and base
ball still continues the topic OF
the hour.
The police department is
avcrse to innovations. They
weld their clubs with old-time
dexterity and decorate the head
and person of any desirable indi-
vidual with the darkly, deeply,
beautifully blue tint so universally
admired. as usual.
The capitalist plays his little
game of the spider and the fly
with renewed vigor and style. He
lives in a magnificent mansion and
eats and drinks three times a day.
He has his yacht, his horses and
his mistress. 1t is still very styl-
ish for the workingman to pay for
all this.
In fact. it is still f0mmf ii taaf
for all workers to be fools and all
employers rascals. The fool
would willingly become a ras-
cal if he could. but as he can't he
don't see anything else to do en-
cept remain a fool. The work.

Prostitution.

1t is the universal belief among
the alleged respectable classes in
all so-called civilized countries,
that prostitution is necessary
evil, because it protects respecta-
BILE women. The law recognizes
this by licensing the prostitutes.
Now, | for one do not believe

New York Sun, August s.

A Knight of Labor said yester-
day that the decree against
the Socialists would have the ef-
feet of attracting to the United
Labor Party knights who
had hitherto held aloof from
it. The Powderly faction in the
knights has looked with disfavol
on independent political action.

n this. / think prostitution a

in this. ! think prostitution a
very unnecessary evil, and the:
question arises in my mind, when.
the world really does become civ.
ilized, when all women have a
chance to earn a good living, when
the conditions are such that chill
dren are no longer brought up
like beasts but like human beings:
svhew are the women to come
from to supply this necessary evilf
Or shall the government appor-
ton off a certain number of girls
each year and educate them in all
vicious propensities so as to sup
ply the demand2 1t seems to me
if this is a necessary evil that
would have to be done.
If women were created solely
and exclusively to crafty the
lusts of men, then prostitution is
necessary; if they were not, then
it seems as if there is no way eX-
cept for men to be made to con-
troll their lusts. Must pure and
refined women, the mothers of the
human race, be degraded to these
depths to pander to a brute's
worst nature1
If it is true that prostitution is
necessary then it seems to me
that that sister of ours whom
we call a fallen women should
rather be known, as a martyr for
respectable women; that the wo-
men who have been saved from
shame by her disgrace should not
shun and avoid their prostitute
sister, but should give her vote
of thanks and Jubilee every year
in token of the gratitude they
ought surely to feel toward this
sister who has saved them.
Respectable woman, if your
daughter is saved because her ad-
mirers seek the company of a
prostitute, why do you not go to
the prostitute, thank her and in
vite her to your house3 You
would do as much for the pre-
server of your childs's life. How
much more do you owe to the pre-
server of her honor3
The chief cause of prostitution
is that men are not required to be
pure, and that women have been
pushed into these dens because of
seduction, because of hunger, and
because of love of hnery and ease.
Men visit these holes because of
unrestrained passions, and they
have no worldly reason to control
their passions when it is claimed,
even among respectable women,
that reformed rakes make the
best husbands"
We are all more or less respon-
sible for this horrible condition of
things. Let us, respectable men
and women, either try and remedy
this thing, which can be remedied
by Socialism and only by Social
ism, or let us be consistent and
accord to the martyrs of this "nec-
essary evil" their proper position
as the "Saviors of Society

JOHN SHERMAN IN THE SOUTH.
An lntoleranr Landlord Refuses to
Let Negro Editors Visit His
Rooms.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Hon. John
Sherman went to Birmingham, Alabama,
Monday, almost incognito, and no one knew
of his presence until his name appeared
among the hotel arrivals in the afternoon
papers. From that time till midnight his
rooms at the Florence hotel were thronged
An impromptu meeting was held in the din
ing room, which was crowded, and speeches
were made by Mr. Sherman and several
leading Democrats of that section. An ad-
dress was sent to Mr.. Sherman, signed by a
number of colored editors, asking for an en-
gagement to pay their respects to him. Mr..
Sherman set 10 o'clock yesterday morning
as the time. The delegates went to the hotel
but the proprietor refused to allow them to
go to Mr.. Sherman's rooms or to enter the
house. Through colored barber in the ho-
tel they sent note to Mr. Sherman explain
ing their failure to keep the engagement.
Mr.. Sherman, requested ex-senator Willard
Warner and ex-C0ngressman Craig to con-
suit with the landlord, and to them the lat
ter repeated his assertion that no ''nigger"
visitor coulleego to any room in his house.

dertook to decide who should be seen 5y-4him
and thereupon, with the approval of both
Senator Warner and Hon. Mr.. Craig, he left
the house and went to another hotel near
by. Mr.. Sherman has been assured, not on
ly by Democratic papers, but by many DEM
ocrats as well as by every Republican whom
he has seen, that they justify his course in
the matter
There was much excitement over the af-
fair all day, and last night O'Brien's Opera
House was crowded with people anxious to
hear whet Sherman would say, but in his
speech he ignored the matter Cowan, the
landlord, had a crowd about him all the fore

HUDSON BAY FISHERIES.
Americans to be Prevented From
Fishing There.

OTTAWA, March 23.-Capt. Gordon, COM
mander Of the Hudson Bay expedition Of
1855, who returned in the Alert, in his report
70 the Dominion government, which has just
been published, points nout the value Of the
Hudson Bay fisheries, which are wholly
within the Dominion of Canada. Capt. Cor
don says the fisheries of the northern sea are
well worthy of careful consideration, and
VIII repay those whe undertake their devel-
opment: The report says: The whole Of
Ine fishing and trading done in the Hudson
bay region Is at present in the hands Of the
hudson Bay Company and New England
whaiers, mostly the latter. The whale fish
ing, Walrus hunting and porpoise fishing are
capable OF great extension, and are certainly
prontable pursuits, since the Americans can
aiiord TO keep ships in commission for eight
cen months in order to fish there less than
Iour. The waters Of Hudson Bay are Who'll
" within the Dominion, and the right of
Sanada to. protect these waters and keep
tnem Tor her own citizens, think, is un-
questionable. would strongly urge the ne
cesslty OF protecting these fisheries, and in
any negotiations with the United States gov
ernment in reference to the rights of United
states citizens to fish in the territorial wa
ters of Canada.
Acting upon the report, the Minister of
Marine and Fisheries will introduce pro-
tectlye measure tor this region as agaiast the
Onited States fishermen and whalers, and

PROBABLY NOT THE DAunrLEss.
Yachtsmen Think the Vessel Seen
by the Rugia Was Some
Ocean Craft.

New YORK, March 23.-The announce
ment made in yesterdays papers. that the
steamer Rugia reported having sighted
vessel which it was thought might have been
the racing yacht Dauntless, has stirred up
all the yachtsmen in this city, 1t is, how
ever, question whether the vessel was one
of the yachts or whether it was merely some
ocean craft All sea-faring men are inclined
to think that this steamer was too far north
to have seen one of the racers, and this con-
clusion is strengthened by the fact that the
Dauntless, after leaving Sandy Hook, took a
course fifty miles to the south of the route
laid out as safe in the last issue of the Pilots
Chart. This was done in order to keep clear
Of the ice, and tits not thought that the cap
tain OF the Dauntless would have changed
the course he intended to take.
If the report Is true, the Dauntless was in
the region of the icebergs, and would in all
probability experience much difficulty i'm
lodging about these immense mountains of
ice. She was about 672 miles east by north
OF where the British Prince reported her.
and about 1913 miles to the southeast of Cape
Race. These figures place the Dauntless
1872 miles east of Sandy Hook last Friday
morning. If she has met with no mishap
since then, she has probably about $50 miles
to sail before she reaches Roche's Point, her
destination.
